Nantucket Race Week is pleased to announce the eighth annual running of the IOD Celebrity Invitational, where every team will have one of America’s greatest sailors aboard calling tactics.
The Celebrity Invitational begins with an opening reception and dinner on August 15, with two days of racing and more social events on August 16 and 17, 2012. The series will consist of up to four races each day on Nantucket Sound. Each participating team will have a celebrity tactician on-board. Races will be sailed in a fleet format, and prizes will be awarded for daily and overall results. Opportunities abound for non-sailing spouses and significant others to explore and enjoy the island: beaches, bicycling, water sports, shopping, museums, sightseeing and more.
2011 Celebrity Tacticians: Mark Reynolds, Sally Barkow, Mike Toppa, Chuck Allen, Andrew Campbell (back), Robbie Doyle, Amanda Clark, Kevin Farrar, Gary Jobson, Dawn Riley, Tom Whidden, Chris Snow, Peter Holmberg, Dave Ullman, Dee Smith.
